Here is my standard procedure for getting console on a Qube2/RaQ2

1) Stick a pin in passwd reset while rebooting, if it says CONSOLE OFF,
do it again.  If it says CONSOLE ON, we're in business.

2) Attach a null modem cable

3) Install the following rpm:
	ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/products/raq2/RPMS/cmos-1.0-4.mips.rpm

4) telnet in as root, run '/usr/local/sbin/cmos 19 165'

5) set your term program to 115200, 8N1

6) You may need to modify a line in /etc/inittab to get a getty running:

# Run gettys in standard runlevels
1:12345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -s 115200 -r /dev/ttyS0

7) Reboot, and console should be working.
